I'm seeking suggestions, recommendations, general comments for a confused ole man. All comments will be welcomed.
I'm not a mechanic by any stretchhhhh of the imagination. Yet, after retirement some years ago I've developed an interest in tinkering with 40's and 50's tractors; have enjoyed most of it and have learned lots. Much more to learn.
Am I now ready to get into the engines, or should I leave that to Ralph Brinkley and sons? I broke down the C-60 in my first cub, to unstick the engine and learn a bit; then took the whole shooting match to Ralph to put back together with new parts as needed. He did a fine job.
I have another cub I'm itching to get into the engine to see if I can do a decent job with rebuilding; but a C-113 engine is priority one. At the same time, I'm wondering if rebuilding an engine is more than a retired ole accountant who enjoys getting his hands greasy should get into? Yep, I can identify most of the parts and know the "job" of most of them. The end of my engine knowledge?
Anyone care to share some thoughts, warnings, encouragement, discouragement?

Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
